Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Thanks Garnet, I have her turned back out on the 7 acres at night and 1 acre during the day. Basically so she can eat undisturbed. She almost trotted yesterday. She was fired up!

The effect may be short lived though so you mayhave to reapply frequently or compress. Use a low concentrationinitially, something like 30% and also watch for drying effects. Ilike to use Emu Oil to remoisturize the skin because it is alsoantinflammatory, very penetrating and not oily.www.lbemuoil.com has a good product.Movement, warmth, counter-irritants (as Doug pointed out) will allincrease circulation. Don't keep the horse confined to a stall if youcan help it. Even a small turn out area will allow more movement andincrease circulation over standing in a stall.Garnet>> > If I put DMSO on the coronary bands, will this increase blood flowin the> foot?> Belinda> Penny Acres Farm> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
